BOK
EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timeBulletEmerging Market News
  • July’s surprise rise in CPI will likely see the Bank of Korea on hold at tomorrow’s meeting. The Governor of the Bank of Korea has also spoken openly about the concern with house prices in Seoul. A rate cut at the current juncture may send the wrong signal to the broader market.
